fink: rely on oss-gcc instead of Xcode

  It would be nice if at least the fink core packages merely relied on
gcc instead of the entire Xcode.
Xcode is a huge package with many unnecassary things like Apple Inc.
GUI development frameworks
and other things: I personally don`t want to download this: free disk
space, download bandwith/limit,
a lot of proprietary software.

I believe Fink should better use a binary or self-compileable gcc
package like this.

I furthermore don`t see the point why we should use proprietary
software in order to compile mere OSS.
... and there is also builddarwin of the puredarwin project.

  Do you think of the proposed alteration i.e. to replace Xcode with
oss-gcc as viable?
All of our software compiles well with a mere gcc/g++; it can only be
about acommodating build scripts.
